Drove a good 7 hours today to finally grab my girls new 50K mile 4.0 WJ, to replace the steaming pile of dookie 3.7 WK. Potatoriffic pic, but whatevs. It was a long damn day (picked up a good 75% set of tires for the WK for $40 too!). Now to knock out the long punchlist for the WK sale and get that thing out on the open market quick

It is really night and day between the 2. The WJ is so far superior in so many ways

50k miles on a WJ?! Wow, that thing must be in great shape. I would have driven 7 hours too.

My Wife and I own a WK and absolutely love it! May be due to the 4.7 V8 though? I can’t imagine an engine making the whole vehicle that much different but I could be wrong. I will tell you that I would not settle for a 6-cylinder WK when we bought ours.

Good snag.

I really like the wj. My grandmother had a pearl one with quaradrive and the 4.0 and despite being slow it was amazing in the snow and so smooth off road. And i really digg the shape

yeah me too. This is as basic as you get in one too. Bought by an old lady to grab her medications, had 12K on it in 2011 before my girls mom bought it. This one is selec-trac too which is fine. Not fast, but so nice

Want an example of an engine making a car better? Try a 2.7 Charger and then try a Hemi equipped Charger and tell me which is better driving, chances are, it’s the Hemi.

My father bought a WJ and it was so awful he sold it and bought a ZJ.

I was considering it. I love the ZJ’s so, but every one up here has no rockers left. Hell barely and WJ’s do either. This one seems to be low enough mileage I can stay up on it

4.0 - The only Jeep engine that counts.
